Ericaceous Compost 60L
£6.99
Ericaceous compost is a type of acidic compost specifically formulated for plants that thrive in low pH conditions, typically between 4.5 and 6.0. This compost is ideal for acid-loving or lime-hating plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, heathers, and blueberries.
Key characteristics of ericaceous compost include:
Acidity: Maintained at a low pH to support the growth of ericaceous plants.
Nutrient Composition: Balanced to provide the essential nutrients that acid-loving plants need.
Organic Matter: Often rich in organic materials like pine needles, leaf mold, or peat, which help to maintain soil structure and moisture.
Using ericaceous compost ensures that these plants can access the nutrients they need without suffering from iron or manganese deficiencies, which can occur in more alkaline soils.
